However, Greek terms related to tribes or genealogies, such as φυλή (phylē, meaning "tribe") or γενεά (genea, meaning "generation" or "family"), may be conceptually related in the context of discussing tribal affiliations in the New Testament. Usage: The term "Ashbelite" is used to denote a member of the tribe or family line of Ashbel, who was one of the sons of Benjamin. This term is specifically used to identify the lineage or tribal affiliation within the context of the Israelite tribes. Context: The term "Ashbelite" refers to the descendants of Ashbel, who was one of the sons of Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel. Ashbel is listed among the sons of Benjamin in the genealogical records of the tribes of Israel. The Ashbelites, therefore, represent a clan or family group within the larger tribe of Benjamin. This designation is significant in understanding the tribal divisions and familial structures within ancient Israel. The tribe of Benjamin held a unique position among the tribes, being the smallest yet playing a crucial role in Israel's history, including the establishment of the first king, Saul, who was a Benjamite. The Ashbelites, as part of this tribe, would have shared in the heritage and responsibilities of the Benjamite lineage.
